Rigatoni Amatriciana is a classic Italian pasta dish originating from the Lazio region, specifically the town of Amatrice. It features rigatoni pasta paired with a robust tomato-based sauce infused with guanciale (cured pork cheek), Pecorino Romano cheese, and a touch of chili for heat. Known for its simple yet bold flavors, this dish is a staple of Italian cuisine and showcases the balance of savory, tangy, and spicy elements. Nutrition-wise, Rigatoni Amatriciana offers protein from the guanciale and essential vitamins from the tomatoes. However, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats due to the cured meat and cheese components. For a slightly healthier variation, consider using whole-grain rigatoni for added fiber or reducing the guanciale quantity to lower fat content while maintaining the traditional taste.
